So, apparently, taking a full week off in America is considered bold behavior for some. I always thought that was the whole point of having vacation days, but I guess the unspoken rule is you’re only supposed to use them when you’re sick, burned out, or hiding from Greg in accounting.
Even then, you’d better check your email every 15 minutes or risk being labeled “not a team player.”
I recently stumbled across a Reddit thread where people shared what happened when they actually took their vacation time, and honestly, it’s equal parts hilarious and tragic.
Some came back to 800 emails and mild chaos. Others returned to find they had basically been replaced.
So if you’ve ever been afraid to request time off because it feels like asking for a kidney, these stories are for you.
